Chapter XXXIV

[Footnote 75: Kaonohiokala, Mr. Emerson tells me, is the name of one of the evil spirits invoked by the priest in the art of _po'iuhane_ or "soul-catching." The spirit is sent by the priest to entice the soul of an enemy while its owner sleeps, in order that he may catch it in a coconut gourd and crush it to death between his hands. "_Lapu lapuwale_" is the Hawaiian rendering of Solomon's ejaculation "Vanity of vanities!"]
